Remembering Mom

This is the 10th Mother's Day since Mom left us. She will be 100 years old this year. I can never get over missing her. I wish I could still flying to Taiwan to visit her, or get on the phone to hear her delightful voice. Well, I found this poem from here that seems to express a good portion of what I feel:

Remembering Mom

Happy Mother's Day is here once more

But on this special day, I softly mourn,

For my mother is home with the angels

Where her heart has been re-born.

I try to keep my brightest smile

For those around to know,

But deep inside there's a little cry

For I miss my mother so.

I'd love to sit again and hold her hand

As I am lonesome for her all the while,

But I'm also glad for her to be in heaven

Restored with her sweet smile.

I know God took her when His time was right

So no more suffering she would see,

The burdens of her mother heart

Are gone eternally.

How I cherish all the special ways

She poured forth of her tender love,

Giving selflessly, dear Mom, now resting

Rewarded in her Lord above.

Dear Mother mine, I may be sad today

Missing the one that I adore,

But one day soon we'll be together

Close, just like we were before.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

A real good one made in movie form with a much better poem is here. I can't quite copy them. Someday I'll transcribe them.
